Footnotes will not be used for bibliographical quotation; they would rather be used to clarify information that cannot be included within the main text. The number representing the footnote will be directly attached as a super index at the end of the term or the text. Acknowledgements and further explanations must be preceded by an asterisk and they must be the first footnote included within the text.

Examples requiring numbers will appear separated one space form each other:

1). First example.
2). Second example.

Textual quotes shorter than three lines will be between quotation marks and bibliographical references must include the author's last name and year of publication in parentheses followed by colon and page number. E.g. Martínez (2005:22-45). Textual quotes longer than three lines will make a whole independent paragraph organized to the left and in smaller font size than the rest of the content. In case of consecutive quotation to the same page it must appear as Ibidem , in italics. In case of consecutive quotation to a different page it must appear as Ibid followed by page number.

Bibiography must appear at the end of the text double space below the final period with the title: References, in bold type. It will be organized in alphabetical order of author's last name and first edition year in parentheses. Book titles will be typed in italics according to the following model:
